Activists Protest Domestic Violence

"Activists post the names of murdered women across Israel to raise awareness about domestic violence

—
On Monday night, the names of 153 women killed by their family members over the past decade were plastered on billboards across the country. Each poster contained the name of a woman killed in Hebrew, Arabic, Amharic, Russian and English together with a qr code than one could scan to learn about the circumstances of their murder.

The date was chosen to mark a month since the murder of Maya Vishniak who was killed on the night between 15-16 of May in her Ramat Gan Home.

Last week, Amit Almog, 21, was indicted for her straggling her with his hands in a murder that shocked the nation. According to the indictment, some two hours after the murder Almog’s mother arrived at the apartment. Almog asked if she wanted to see Vishniak sleeping, took her to the bedroom, and then grabbed her throat from behind and stabbed her in the face and upper body.

His 50-year-old mother begged for her life, told him several times that she loved him, and he eventually stopped his assault. She suffered mild wounds.

He then filmed Vishniak’s body and himself while he was singing and dropping banknotes on her, and sent the footage to his friend, the indictment said.

The indictment said the motive for the murder isn’t known to authorities. It stressed that Almog’s actions had been planned ahead of time. He hid the kitchen knife in a bedroom drawer immediately after murdering Vishniak, intending to use it against his mother.

The project's initiator, Ariel Bendet has created a website that lists all the women which can be viewed here:
